and arrive at the luxurious lodge.

A warm

of you; nature embraces you with the ornately carved
wooden Rimu doors depicting the beauty and abundance
of the valley. They open, beckoning you into the

the outdoors to hand carved beams depicting Maori
folklore is in this uniquely New Zealand Lodge.

carrying Rainbow trout on its way. You overlook

out at Treetops.

fittings, trout door handles, to the hand carved
Rimu beams overhead. From the outset you feel one
with nature with the rippling of water, stone and
timber finishes to the rich scent of cool, fresh
virgin forest air. A time to reflect and feel apart
of a bigger, splendid picture. A uniqueness that
can only be found at Treetops...

the swirling stream or curl up with a novel beside
the blazing fire.

from the pioneering days. Stylish designer lighting
throughout the lodge allows for ease on the eye
and a dim serenity while you sip a cocktail as the
sun slowly fades like a dream and slips into night.

colours and luxurious fabrics sink into a sofa as
time eases by. Watch the whispering water as it
flows over the rocks, framed by native fern fronds.

The Dining Room Rich, warm
and enticing, the crafted, candlelit table stretches
out where many a guest traveller has dined over
clinking glasses while sharing fascinating stories
with fellow guests. Trout swim in the water along
side the room as the valleys yawn below. Great spaces
for intimate dining, or sharing this place with
new friends.

Treetops Lodge and Wilderness Estate is one of
New Zealand’s premier luxury lodges. A key point
of difference that sets Treetops apart from other
lodges is our deliberate decision to create a family
and group friendly environment.

While we
offer the secluded villa option
for couples, Treetops has designed an accommodation
option that is perfect for families or groups. The
Lodge Wing has been created to offer a home away
from home and is designed to reflect the best in
luxury accommodation while still maintaining that
family home atmosphere!

Totally self contained,
it has its own fully equipped kitchen, large dining
and living area, with four beautifully appointed
suites each with its own ensuite. The living area
opens out to the magnificence of the valley vista
and the privacy of the wing is enhanced by the single
entry way access to the rest of the Lodge and the
separate exit to the opportunities offered by the
Estate.

This facility is perfect for families
or groups who want to enjoy the company of their
travelling companions in a high quality shared communal
living area, but still enjoy the privacy of their
own room and facilities.

The Lodge Wing
will also suit travellers who enjoy the company
of others or those who prefer to be close to the
amenities in the Lodge.

Zealand’s incomparable Volcanic Plateau, Treetops

Around and About Rotorua

The secluded, half-moon valley of Treetops nestles
on the very edge of the Mamaku Plateau, in the heart
of one of the most picturesque and remarkable areas
in New Zealand. Over a dozen lakes lie amongst rugged
hills, cloaked in primeval forest, while less than
an hour’s drive away is Lake Taupo, the largest
lake in New Zealand.

At a somewhat greater
distance is remote Lake Waikaremoana, best reached
by helicopter for the drive is long and tortuous.
Scattered throughout the region are not only some
of the most spectacular geothermal features to be
seen anywhere in the world, but also an impressive
array of volcanoes – extinct and active!

As if all this were not enough the area is also
a centre for Maori, the original inhabitants of
the land, who’s intricately carved marae (meeting
house complexes) are frequently seen. Then there
is the fishing, the hunting, the golf, the vineyards,
the skiing, the walking… In fact the region probably
offers more for the day-tripper than anywhere else
in New Zealand; indeed quite possibly than anywhere
else in the world!
